Blank Licence Agreement from Electronic Arts

Miscellaneous Forums/General Discussion/Blank Licence Agreement from Electronic Arts

I'm just installing the Collector's Edition of Battle for Middle Earth 2.

The Licence Agreement pop-up came up at the start of installation - ie press Yes to install or No to quit - but it is blank/empty.

There is no licence readme on the disk, the installer is calling a file that doesn't exist.

It says 'Please read the following licence agreement carefully'.

It then says 'Do you accept the terms of the preceding licence agreement?'.

Considering it is blank - what does this mean? Effectively, I have clicked Yes to a blank Licence Agreement.

Surely, EA have not shot themselves in the foot over this? Is a licence agreement actually vital or not - ie in what possible way are they/the product at risk? What does the licence cover that isn't covered by copyrights/trademarks and the law, etc? Is the licence just because different countries have different laws?
